 | The Answer Vending Machine | Why You Should Stop Spitting Out Solutions On-Demand
When leaders act like “answer vending machines,” they create dependence, stifle learning, and overwork themselves. Real leadership means turning problems into learning moments instead of handing out quick fixes. This exclusive Chamber session is perfect for busy leaders who feel stretched too thin and want their teams to step up. You’ll leave with one practical shift: replacing quick answers with a coaching question that builds your team’s ownership and problem-solving. It’s the ideal member value session for year-end, when leaders are worn out and ready to build healthier, more sustainable leadership habits for the year ahead.
